Tamara Cairns - Minneapolis, MN "I can not recommend Kari highly enough. Not only are our portraits the most lovely and meaningful ones I've ever had taken, but the photo session itself was truly a special experience. Kari has such a special knack for working with children, and she captured our babies' personalities perfectly. We never could have taken these types of pictures ourselves. Our portraits will truly be family heirlooms. I still look at our photos almost every day. I can't imagine if we had not had Kari capture these most precious moments of our lives. I'm so grateful for her talent and patience."
